Administration menu drupal module description
Provides a theme-independent administrative interface (also known as navigation or back-end). It’s a helpful tool for new users coming from other CMSs, saves time for site administrators, and is also useful for site developers.
Administrative links are displayed in a CSS/JS-based menu at the top of every page on your site. It not only includes standard menu items—tasks and operations—but also provides quick access to any administrative resource on your Drupal site.
Behavior and Integration
- Works with all themes and in all browsers.
- Provides all administrative links, including tabs/tasks and operations, for direct access to any page.
- Extendable by additional features from other modules. Devel integration is built-in.
- Supports using icon-based themes in the admin menu.
- (3.x only) Implements client-side caching to reduce server performance impact.
- (7.x-3.x only) Offers links to individual configuration elements (e.g., content types, menus, views), including their contextual links.

Installation

The "Administration" menu link must be enabled, though it can reside in various menus such as "Navigation".
Ensure your theme outputs the closure. If the menu does not appear, refer to README.txt
first.
